Parts of my avatar are invisible when I put on alphas. The body I attach after is invis

[Noraa Kozlov]

When I put on my alpha then place the body on the body or head piece is invis to not just the under layer. I am at a loss of what to do as I have tried many things including different viewers and reinstalling. I am using SL viewer.

Alpha layers only affect the system avatar and system clothing layers. It is expected behaviour that they hide these areas of the avatar.

Alpha layers do not hide mesh attachments. This behaviour will not change by reinstalling.

You need to explain a bit more so we are sure what you mean.

I take it that you are wearing the alpha layers that come with your mesh head and body. As Freya Mokusei explains, those alpha layers do NOT affect attachments.

There are currently two problems that can cause your attachments to fail to render. One is your video driver. ATI/AMD drivers prior to version 15.2 (I think I have the version number right, check) will not properly render mesh attachments in SL. You have to roll back to a certain version, which I don't know, or get the latest version which is supposed to fix the problem.

If you are using Firestorm, Singularity, or another viewer that does ot have the AISv3 updates or have HTTPInventory disabled mesh attachments and lots of other stuff will fail to render on the regions in the RC channels. Presumably you problem is the video driver.

When you as a tech question, you need to include information about your viewer and computer. Use the viewer's HELP->ABOUT... to get the information. That captures driver version numbers. We need that info to give you something more than a guess.

Freya's comment about your question not being pertinent to the Answers section is mistaken. Freya is correct that product specific questions should be directed to the product designer. Trying to figure out alpha layer and attachment invisibility is not product specific, especially since we have a couple of known bugs that cause this behavior in all products.
